Speeding On P's

[Charles89]

I think it's 3km with mobile camera + cop's radar and 2km with standard speed cameras

hopefully i can use that as a defence and rule out the margin of error (3km's) and hopefully get it down to something like 98. I was speaking to my friend today who said he only saw me doing 100 to 105 and that i was slowing down right before i got flashed. none the less, its still a 6 month suspension, unless i get it down to under 95km's which is only 1 month suspension. (dreaming)

don't nitpick on me, you know i'm foreign and i don't speak english very well. =D

english is over-rated!

[xALmoN]

You can't use it as a defence because they already subtract the margin of error when they issue your infringement notice. Two speeds will be written, detected (real speed) and alleged (including margin of error). You get charged with the alleged speed.

Hopefully you did slow down but sorry to say this is a common reaction as soon as a camera flashes...you brake and then look at the speedo after you get flashed, trying to remember what speed you were doing when you got flashed. The speed is almost always higher than what we thought we were doing

[xskyyline]

They only allow an error of +3kmh.

Which is pretty f**ked imo.

Ever been fined 2-3km over limit before?

[xALmoN]

Ever been fined 2-3km over limit before?

yeah, detected speed 64kmh, alleged speed 61kmh.

$134 and 1 point.

But y were u doing 105 in a 60 zone anyway? U saw a hot granny walking by didnt ya? lol jks.

Fair enough if it was an 80 zone.

95km over is more than 1 month suspension lol

<25 Over is a fine & points, 25-35 is 1 month then 36-45 3 months >45 minimum 6 months and this is when I checked a while ago, I'm sure it's alot stricter now.

LOL that sucks

I've been done on 2 occasions for doing 12km over the limit and they took of 3km each, so I just scraped under 10km, saved myself some money and points, luckyyy

[curlyjimbo]

... So have they knocked on your door yet?

[tavstar34]

court? well f**k, thanks, that makes me feel a f**k tone better. i dont give 2 f**kes about fines, i care that if the cops rock up to my door and my mum is home.

im thinking of going in to the cop station and telling them what i did just so they dont come.

Ask them if they can rock up and dress up as a vampire, and just tell your mum its holloween lol

Good. You'll get no pity from me.

And for the record, you haven't even begun to suffer yet

[xALmoN]

Well, i AM suffering waiting for an insurance payout that's kinda late.

And i do need a car for work too.

To the OP, has anyone come for your car yet? Please update us on what kind of penalties you ended up with.
